Jefferson Airplane, formed in 1965, was a rock band based in San Francisco, California, who pioneered psychedelic rock. Formed in 1965. Their 1967 break-out album Surrealistic Pillow ranks on the short list of most significant recordings of the "Summer of Love". Two songs from that album, Somebody to Love and White Rabbit, are among Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time."

The classic lineup of Jefferson Airplane, from October 1966 to February 1970, was Grace Slick (vocals), Paul Kantner (guitar, vocals), Marty Balin (guitar, vocals), Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar, vocals), Jack Casady (bass), and Spencer Dryden (drums). The group broke up in 1972 and split into two bands: Hot Tuna and Jefferson Starship.
